The police officer who tasered a race relations advisor in the face was filmed arresting another man two days later after he parked outside a Bristol primary school.

The video of the arrest, which happened on January 16 outside a school in Eastville, has been shared widely on social media and prompted an immediate response from the police today, three months later.

In the film of the incident, which begins immediately after he was handcuffed, the man repeatedly asked the officer why he was being arrested, and the un-named man filming the scene also asks officers the reason for the arrest.

“I’ve heard this, so I’m trying to calm the situation down, so can I ask what he’s been arrested for, please?” the man filming the video said.

The officer calls for back-up because the arrest was ‘attracting a crowd’. The police officer radios that the man had been arrested for ‘obstruct police’.

The man, named today by police as Jamshaid Ishaque, was handcuffed and placed into the back of a police car.

A police statement issued today, Good Friday, said the man was arrested ‘for obstruction and refusing to provide his name or insurance details for his car’, and later said the man was arrested for ‘causing an obstruction preventing cars from entering or leaving’ the school.

The video shows the man’s car parked near, but not appearing to be physically blocking the staff car park entrance to the school.

The incident took place on the afternoon of Monday, January 16 this year. Two days earlier, on the morning of Saturday, January 14, the same police officer was filmed trying to question a man in Easton.

That interaction, which was also filmed by another member of the public, ended with the man, 63-year-old Judah Adunbi, being Tasered in the face by the officer.

Mr Adunbi, who was initially questioned by police officers who said they believed him to be a different man, also refused to give his name to the officer and was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer. Those charges which were dropped by police when video footage of the incident emerged.

The tasering of Mr Adunbi, a community race relations advisor for Avon and Somerset police, has caused much controversy in the communities of Easton and St Paul’s, and is currently still the subject of an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

The police said the officer involved later had her Taser removed, and has since been issued with a gross misconduct notice by police, along with the other officer involved in the incident with Mr Adunbi.

Two days later, she was part of a patrol of the roads outside May Park primary school in Eastville.

A statement from the police said the officers were there following complaints about parking problems in the area around the school.
